Amazon EC2

Amazon EC2, or Elastic Compute Cloud, is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows users to rent virtual servers in the cloud. This means you can run applications and store data without needing to own physical hardware. EC2 offers flexibility, letting you scale up or down quickly based on your needs, making it suitable for everything from small websites to large, complex applications. Users can choose the specifications of their virtual servers, including power and storage, and only pay for what they use, which helps manage costs effectively.
